Question by Random: would this winch work for my jeep wrangler?

its a 4500lb winch so i could probably use it, but i think its meant for a atv

that one says its used for cars, but its only 500lbs more then the other one, is there a difference as far as either one working or not working for mine, its a 95 jeep wrangler se, 31 inch tires, nothing really else that would add weight, 3 inch body lift, idk if that does anything in this situation

At only 4500 to 5000 lbs of line pull, I would not use on a JEEP Wrangler. You need at least a 8000 lb. winch to be on the safe side. Remember that the 4500 lb. rating is on the first wrap of cable on the drum. As the cable is wound back on the drum the amount of line pull deceases, so that by the time the drum is full, you have lost about half your rated pulling power. Check with a local off-road parts warehouse for the proper winch for your Jeep.
